Colorful Rooms!

Good morning. :) Thanks so much for your well wishes for my daughter yesterday. She's doing great and I really appreciate your concern. Since I'm feeling a bit depleted today, I thought I'd be lazy and just post a few beautiful, COLORFUL rooms. Aren't these stunning? I'm not sure I'm so daring to have these VIBRANT COLORS in my home, though. What about you? Do you lean towards the bright cheerful hues of ORANGE, HOT PINK, FUSHIA, AND YELLOW or do you prefer EARTHY COLORS or PASTELS? I think it's fun to learn about other people's color preferences. I've shared this before, but I lean towards earthy colors....chocolate browns, rusty oranges, olives, and creams for a neutral backdrop. I would love to hear about your home, or maybe even your DREAM HOME! ;)

I love bright colors on my wall. In fact, my bedroom had a deep red wall behind the headboard and we hang a big black/red pop art painting on it.Love these photos, thanks so much for sharing. These really inspired me to paint another wall some cool happy color.

It's fun to read what you all have written. Helen, you are a brave one! lol. Send photos! Christy...I'm with you. ;) Carabella, glad you like these photos. I do, too, I'm just too chicken to try them. I'm good at recommending bright colors but veer from them myself...go figure. Ruxandra, I think a home in pastels is so pretty. You have such great taste, too. I can tell from your blog.

i'm with you on the earthy colors, :) it's funny because i lean towards bright colors when i am painting, but don't tend to want them in my house. earthy colors just make me feel calmer, i guess. all that said, these rooms sure are pretty!

Hi Vicki -I hope your daughter is ok and that you are able to unwind this weekend...xo-I love whites and neutrals for my own home...but...that orange wall in the first image is totally gorgeous! I do have some small touches of orangey/rusty/red in my dining room but that whole wall...wow!

I love those top two of the red/fuschia room. I have bright, tropical colors in my home - mango, turquoise, lime - but red has always intimidated me as far as the walls go. I am, in fact, writing this from the last room in my home that I need to paint, which is an awful, blotchy red. I wish my walls looked like the ones you've featured!

i have a problem. i dont know what i like most. i love pretty much everything and any kind of style. if i had to pick colors that depict me- i would have to say earthy colors. but colorful, bright colors i could not live without.so when i grow up and get a house, every room will probably be very different and each a different style! :) i know that probably breaks a decorating rule- but i simply cant help it!

It's been fun reading all of your comments today. It's cool how we're all different in our tastes. Victoria, I admire that your bold with your color choices! I would love to see some photos. ;) And Kendall, it's o.k. to like all sorts of styles......I kind of do, too. xo
